Maintenance of okra

Fertilizer and water management

After the cotyledons appeared, the 20-10-20 nitrogen fertilizer of 50-75pprn was applied, and after the leaves were expanded, the concentration was mentioned to 100~150ppm. Apply alternately with nitrate nitrogen fertilizer.

Potted flower management

Mainly peat and vermiculite. Soil or river sand can be added. The value of pH is 6.06.5. EC value 0/75~1.0mS/era. The temperature was controlled at 18 ℃-30 ℃ and grew well under full light.

Pest control

Insect pests are: aphids, red spiders and so on. Sensitive to insecticides and easy to cause drug damage. When in use, pay attention to the concentration of agents, and biological agents that are safe to plants can be selected.

Pruning

The crown of okra is loose, but needs pruning. There are four reasons: the first large flower okra can not affect pedestrians, the second largest flower okra should be cut short, the residual flowers should be cut off after the third flower to prevent the consumption of nutrients, and fourth, if the branches are too dense, keep them ventilated and transparent.

When cooking, okra should be blanched with boiling water before stir-frying, and its flowers are tender and should not be boiled for a long time. To some extent, okra is suitable for long-term consumption, but we must pay attention to the amount of food each time.

There are three aspects that need to be fully considered: the first is to pay attention not to affect pedestrians, the second is to cut short the long branches and modify the flower pattern, and the third is to build excess branches in time to prevent nutrient deficiency.

Okra has very low requirements for the environment, but it should be carefully repaired when it is cultivated. When we cultivate it, we can choose the methods of sowing, cutting or ramet, which can be fed successfully.
